Joy took to it at once (at least, at once after Mamma played a few notes and she realized what it was). She loves music so much that I asked all my relatives for child-sized instruments for her birthday or Christmas. (And I'm quite thankful that Lis held OFF on the maracas for now.) I definitely want to expose her to as many opportunities for making music herself while she's young, so that hopefully she finds an instrument she wants to pursue when she's older.
I was pleased that she wasn't inclined to just bang on it for the sake of making noise - she really likes to play the different keys and get some sense of a tune. Of course, she also likes crashing them together at times, too!
Gracie wasn't as into it at first, until she saw Sissy playing for a while. Then she decided it was great fun, too. Ever since we got home, not a day has passed without us hearing one or both of them plunking away at various times, accompanied by great giggles.
I love it.
(I'll leave it to you to decide which one is Schroeder and which one Rowlf.)

Is there anything better than watching our little ones in the throes of discovery? Enjoy your sweet girls and the sweet music they make :)
It IS exciting, especially wondering how these discoveries will help them later on in life - if the learning to make music and the thrill of discovering it will affect them in ways far beyond just learning how to find notes on a keyboard!
My 4 y/o has a Baby Einstein's piano and she just loves that thing.
